Hearts for Hesed Fundraiser
December 1, 2011
5:30 pm - 8:30 pm
Extra Edge will be hosting a charity fundraiser at the Naperville
Country Club for the Hesed House homeless shelter in Aurora.
The evening will be filled with fun and prizes, but most of all help the people of Hesed House who need our assitance to maintain their wonderful operation. There will be a silent auction for outstanding
donated items, a raffle for more great prizes, food and beverages, entertainment by local band Tres Mustache, Kidz Cabaret,
comedian/ emcee Julie Ostrow of Find the Funny and best of all a rewarding time for all in attendance.
I am selling tickets! The cost is $75 per ticket. A major portion of the ticket price will go to Hesed House, which is also tax deductible. There is a maximum capacity of 200 for the event, and 30% of the tickets have already been sold! Or you can contact Mary Ensor at Hesed House directly via email at mensor@hesedhouse.org to buy tickets, or by phone at 630-897-2156 x537.
We're also looking for Donations for raffle prizes for this event. Anything like gift cards for your company or its services, tickets to local events, sports items, the sky is the limit! Please contact me if you would like to donate, and the value of your donation is tax deductible. Texas Roadhouse, for example, has already donated $100 in gift cards for their restaurant. THANKS to them!

Changing Seasons, Changing Prices
Changing the prices of your company's services and inventory items can solve one of two problems, depending on why you're looking for a solution. Say your materials suppliers have upped their prices. You may choose to increase your affected products to maintain your profit margin. Or maybe an item or service has not been moving well. A drop in price might trigger improved sales.
Those examples, of course, are simplifications of what needs to be a thoughtful, studied process. They're critical business decisions that should be made with the guidance from your trusted ProAdvisor. We are experts that don't just know QuickBooks: We understand the flow of profit and loss, and we can be valuable allies in your march towards continued growth.
We'll explore the tools that QuickBooks offers to help simplify price changes once your decisions have been made. They're not overly difficult to use, but we can help ensure that your intentions are carried out accurately. And there are related inventory issues that may be impacted by your modifications.
